Removing the Air Shroud

Under most circumstances you will not need to remove the air shroud to perform

any service on the system. However, if you wish to temporarily remove it (the air

shroud should always be in place when the system is operating), please follow

this procedure.

Begin by depressing the tabs at the front and rear of the shroud to unlock it, then

lift it up and out of the chassis. To reinstall, simply position the air shroud in its

proper place and push it in until you hear it click.

Hard Drive Backplane

The SAS/SATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus

termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data

security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the

hot-swap capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there

are no jumpers or switches present on it.

DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM

and fl oppy drive bays. The 6025B-UR accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM

drives. Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM

drive in the 6025B-UR server.

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks

(you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis

to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until

it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the

inside of the server. You must power down the system before installing or removing

fl oppy or IDE components.

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed

in their bays.

• The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.

• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.

• A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide

for two fl oppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to

drive A, and the connector without twisted wires always connects to drive B.
